Academics

BSC has a 13-to-one student-faculty ratio, our average class size is 16, and 100 percent of our classes are taught by professors rather than teaching assistants. That means you’ll take small classes with top-notch professors in every subject, whether it’s Sanskrit or the Civil War, calculus or creative writing, Bach or biology.

But our professors do more than teach. They fuel your imagination and help you reach your potential. They give you new ways to look at things, new skills, and new means to express yourself.

We designed our groundbreaking curriculum to foster the abilities and knowledge sets that employers and professional schools seek. You’ll build your skills in communication, creative problem solving, community engagement, making connections among disciplines and self-directed learning—all talents that make you in-demand after graduation and prepare you to explore today’s increasingly complex and interconnected world.

Exploration Term allows students to try something new in January, whether it’s an internship, travel, a class, or a research project.
